Side view of BT-7 Model 1937 Fast Tank
This picture probably shows the BT-7 Model 1937 Fast Tank. This version of the BT-7 saw the introduction of the sloped turret, while the BT-8 had a machine gun at the rear of the turret.
Russian Tanks of World War II, Stalin's Armoured Might, Tim Bean and Will Fowler. A good overview of the development of Soviet Tanks from the early models based on British and American originals to the excellent Russian designed T-34 and the heavy IS tanks. Bean and Fowler also look at the development of Soviet tank doctrine, the impact of Stalin's purges on the tank forces, and their use in combat from the small-scale clashes in the Far East to the apocalyptic fighting on the Eastern Front between 1941-45. A little lacking on precise details of the sub-variants of some of the tanks, but otherwise very good.
